Why Ringwood Homes Need Reblocking
Ringwood and the Maroondah council area sit on reactive clay and siltstone-derived soils classified Class M to H under AS 2870. Consistent seasonal expansion and contraction places ongoing stress on the timber stumps of the area's numerous post-war homes.
Ringwood's post-war suburban boom produced a large stock of timber-framed homes in the 1950s–1970s now showing the classic signs of stump deterioration: sloping floors, sticking doors and hairline cracks in cornices.
Warning Signs Your Ringwood Home Needs Reblocking
Watch for these signs of deteriorating stumps — do not ignore them:
What Is Reblocking — and How Does It Differ from Restumping and Underpinning?
Reblocking and restumping are the same process — both describe replacing old timber stumps with new concrete stumps beneath a raised timber-framed home. Underpinning is a separate process for homes on concrete slabs. Not sure which applies to you? Call 0455 888 899 and we will advise you honestly, at no charge.
Our Ringwood Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Ringwood property, assess your subfloor, identify damaged stumps and provide a free written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
We document the number of stumps, subfloor access and drainage considerations relevant to Ringwood's specific soil conditions.
Rotten or damaged stumps are safely removed. We work from beneath your home — in most cases without removing any floorboards.
High-strength concrete stumps are installed to a minimum of 450mm depth and concreted firmly in place. Concrete does not rot. Termites cannot damage it.
We use hydraulic jacks to lift and re-level your structure — correcting sloping floors and reducing frame distortion.
Comprehensive check before sign-off. All work performed by a Registered Building Practitioner (Licence DB-L 54524) with a written 15-year guarantee.
